Can't find "Locations and Occupations" menu
« on: February 28, 2016, 06:27:54 am »

The Wiki says it's under l (lower case L) but that's "Artifacts" for me.

I can't find it anywhere.

You have to create a location first.

Set up a zone with i. Set the zone to be a meeting area with m, and hit l from the zone. You will then be able to create a location with the a key.

Also make sure you have the right version.

Yeah, if lower case l gives you the artefact screen, you are probably not playing a 42.x version.

EDIT: have you checked your capslock?

Hmm.. you are correct sirs.

I'm still on 40.24... I thought the pack was updated to latest version when it found a new version last week...
Oh well, now I've learned how to use minecarts :)

Are the saves compatible?

Yes and no. I have read it is possible to transfer saves from 40.24 to 42.x.

But, you'll miss out on most of the new features, since things like art forms are created during worldgen.

Yes, I get the error "Missing Item Definition: ITEM_INSTRUMENT_FLUTE" and from what I can tell from Reddit and this forum it's a pain to recover from.

Thanks for the help though. I'll start over again for the third time this week then :)
